We find inspiration in the following words from the Pontifical Council for Inter-religious Dialogue for our collaboration:

"We recognize that in the interrelated context of our contemporary lives, inter-religious cooperation is no longer an option but a necessity. One could say that to be religious today is to be inter-religious. Religion will prosper in this century only to the extent that we can maintain a sense of community among people of different religious beliefs who work together as a human family to achieve a world of peace."
